And at +$1000 a pop it is quite a consumable. To top it off,
the 2-piece for the NA I5 is a mere $160! Goes to show what
is more popular and common. :)

What is the asking price for that support bracket? Audi here
have quoted me $125!!! $30 for each clip as well!

It looks like I'm going to have to get a brand new one then.
Anyone know of a German supplier they have access to who can
supply these units?
